Its February!

Which means its banlist speculation time!

I kinda enjoyed the first half of this format even though it was filled with mostly Windups. There were many players who didn't know wtf they were doing and feeds +10 to Maxx C so it wasn't that bad.

Sep - Windups everywhere
Oct/Nov - Mermails everywhere
Dec - Verz everywhere
Jan - Firefist everywhere
Feb - play whatever you want cos banlist is coming lol

That is basically what happened in Singapore for this format

Some of the unhealthy things that is going on would be Mermails and Windups where they just do their own stuff and people die. At least Firefist and Verz is somewhat interactive. But honestly, I don't mind another format with the same cards.

Windups

Hit the Magician. It's the thing that is giving you mad plusses. Magician Shark is plus 1. Calling another Magician and then using Shark effect is another plus 1, whats the point of restricting Shark really since it is easily searchable with Factories. Also, buying 3 Extra Pack boxes for 3 Shark is better than buying a box of GENF to get all the Magician and Factory for Konami sales =D.

Mermails

Even though the deck is called Mermails, the cards that should be hit isn't any Mermail named. Limit Dragoon since its the search engine. I would hit Undine but then there won't be anymore Mind Crush moments.

Another card that should be hit would be Deepsea Diva since it is such a versatile card that can lead to so many plays.

Firefist/Fire King

Usually new themes won't be hit until at least another format (even Darkstrike had another Format). But if anything should be hit it is definitely Tenki and Bear. This 2 cards is splashed in like every deck that has anything to do with Beast Warriors or Fire themed.

Verz

I really don't think anything here will be hit. Sure first turn Ophion with a free protection is good, but its not exactly game breaker when it can just be removed by any of the above combos. Mermails can destroy it with just an Undine, Windup will come up with something creative, and the usual Tenki and Bear combo will get rid of it just as easily. Yes there are backrows, but every deck do play MST so there is no point trying to argue about it.

Any other interesting decks that I missed? (no Gishki deck pls lol)

============================

Do you think they will hit things preemptively for the Divine Wind Dancer FTK? I mean, the book that will contain the banlist also comes with the Harpy Dancer card. Imagine their "Tips and strategy" will be like "Combine this with Divine Wind of Mist Valley for trololol".

*Flips page*

Divine Wind of Mist Valley is now Limited.

    1. I hope they don't touch it again. they already semi E-call and A hero lives. Baha, what do u think?

      Delete
    2. Hero seems to be in a good place right now and Hero deck is so gentle compared to what the other decks can do.

      The Hero Lives build is still pretty good.

      Delete
    3. since u say The hero lives build is good .What about hero beat? since they play card car D, super poly and spark while The hero lives deck don't, but instead The hero lives deck plays other stuffs ???

      Delete
    4. So is your build still roughly the same?

      Delete
    5. in a way like??

    6. Like those from the march 2012 format I guess

      Delete

  3. It's like you are the only guy that knows what he's talking about. Every list you see on the web doesn't even try to understand how the list works.
    Your assumptions will be spot on when we see the list

  4. Agents still dominate. People even keep on saying to either Semi Hyperion or Put Earth back on the Limited

    1. Rule No.1: KONAMI loves Money
      Rule No.2: Cover boy of structure deck never hit banned list
      Rule No.3: No field spell hit banned list

      *Hyperion: it is Cover boy of structure deck, so do Grapha, Machina Fortress, and Lightpulsar. But none in banned/limited list now. Yeah, Honest is cover boy. But it isnt as cover boy of structure deck, its cover boy of booster pack. NO! REDMD isnt a cover boy, REDD is da cover boy of structure deck.

      So.. Earth back to limit, maybe..

      *Verz: they no yet in TCG, maybe September 2013.. (just like they did to Gustraken) but for March sure they limit Rabbit..

      *Shark vs Magician: it just like Hornet vs Damsel discussion.. well, since Reborn Tengu and Tour Guide r TCG exclusive, Shark will in banned/limited list.. having 2 of this just like having 3 hornet, 3 damsel.. so, will both go to limited just like inzektor? but Rule No1 say No..

      Delete
  5. I guess Rabbit will be hit too (limit). This will hurt both Dino Rabbit and Verz.
    For the rest, the choices seem good to me.

  6. inzeks getting a 2nd hornet?

    ReplyDelete
  7. As far as the TCG I think mermails are still too new to be hit. Same thing happened last year with dino rabbit which also come out in november

  8. I think konami shudnt touch anything of the curent decks they should Unban cards that make other decks good sooo that any deck could top and like that konami gets profits by selling old ban stuff to ppl that dont have it example:
    Limited
    Rescue cat
    Mind master
    Disk commander
    Semi-limited
    Lonefire blossom
    Mezuki
    T.G striker
    Black whirldwind
    Book of moon
    No longer on the list
    D-hero malicious
    Bottomles trap hole
    With this list any deck can top and i mean ANY!

    1. Who will buy new stuff if the old cards are more powerful.

      Delete
    2. i dont think this old cards will make a different s the new card are way more over power and you could combine the new with the old giving you more decks in the meta cuz if you look at the list the only card that is rely a thereat is rescue cat all the other ones are set up cards that cant keep up with the current decks like rabbit verz or atlantians, fire fist,
      macro rabbit, wind up sooo yeah it would be good

      Delete
  9. Rescue cat with 3 call of the haunted? That will overpower the new decks, glow up bulb will fully reawakened junk doppel decks, disk commander withe so much revival on the meta, they will not unban cards that will kill konami's profit

    ReplyDelete
  10. How about banning Ally Genex Birdman? It's as bad as Brionic being that it's the new way for decks to create broken loops.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Can Infernity affected by this ban list ?

    such as Monster Reborn or something .

    ReplyDelete
  12. Don't mess with Divine Wind :C
    Harpie Dancer or the Blaze Phoenix, please, but not Divine Wind. It will kill Mist Valley variants which never were in the competitive play.

  15. Wind-Up Magician to 1. Overkill for Wind-Ups, but Konami will do it to sell anything else that can use Shock Master. Like Harpies.

    Rescue Rabbit to 1. It needed this for a long time, but they'll do it now that they don't have any more excuses to reprint it.

    Nothing else of any significance will happen, except stuff that will secure Shock Master's dominance.
